If you’re a budding graphic artist, you may have been told that a graphics tablet can benefit you. This article discusses the features of graphics tablets to help you decide if a tablet is right for you, and which tablet best fits your needs and budget.
What is a graphics tablet?
Also referred to as a digitizing tablet, graphics pad, or drawing tablet, a tablet is an alternate type of input device that can be used in place of, or in conjunction with, a mouse, trackball, or other pointing device. The tablet consists of two parts, a flat surface for drawing, and a pen, stylus, or puck that is programmed to work with the tablet. Usually, you also get a pen holder, and some tablets even come with a cordless mouse that works on the tablet surface. Even non-artists may choose to use a tablet because it offers a more ergonomic method of input that can reduce the likelihood of developing repetitive strain injury. Let’s explore some of the common features of graphics tablets…
Size
Size is one of the first factors you’ll need to consider in choosing a tablet. Bigger is not necessarily better. For home users and hobbyists, the most common sizes are 4″ by 5″ and 6″ by 8″. CAD users, artists, and technical illustrators may desire a larger surface area, but the price escalates as the size increases. Remember, the larger your tablet surface is, the more you will need to move your arms. Many people prefer a smaller tablet to minimize arm motion. However, this may feel unnatural to an artist who is used to drawing or painting with large sweeping motions. Another important thing to know about tablet size is that the dimensions given almost always refer to the input surface area of the tablet. The actual footprint of the tablet can be as much as 4 to 5 inches larger than the input area. Keep this in mind as you shop, or you may be surprised that your tablet takes up much more desktop space than you may have considered. My 6″ by 8″ Wacom Intuos tablet, for instance, has a footprint of 10″ by 13.5″.
How does the new Apple iPad compare to the original?
Mar 5th
Oh, hey, look at that. After months of prognostications and rumor-mongering – some of it conducted right here on the Horizons blog – Apple has trotted out a shiny new tablet computer called the iPad 2. (Personally, we were hoping for something a little more exciting than “iPad 2,” but we are more than willing to admit that branding is not our strong suit – and besides, “iPad 2″ works just fine. It’s utilitarian!)
Enter the iPad 2 era: Is this a gadget, a computer, or a TV? Yes.
So what does the iPad 2 have that the original iPad did not? Well, for one, it’s smaller: 33 percent thinner than its predecessor and just a smidge lighter. (The iPad 2 weighs 1.3 pounds and the first iPad weighed a-not-exactly-chunky 1.5 pounds.) Meanwhile, the iPad 2 gets a pair of cameras – one rear-facing and one front-facing for FaceTime chat – and a gyroscope, just like the iPhone 4, which should improve gaming capability.
Operating speed is up, too, thanks to a Dual-core 1GHz A5 processor, Gizmodo reports. Thankfully, price points will remain the same across the board. A Wi-Fi-only iPad 2 will set you back $499, while 3G models start at $629. To recap: The iPad 2 is faster, lighter, skinnier, and exactly the same price as the iPad 1. (We’re assuming we’ll see some sort of price drop on remaining iPad units, but no word on that yet.)
Apple CEO Steve Jobs, who took a medical leave of absence earlier this year, was on hand today to unveil the iPad 2. “We’ve been working on this product for awhile and I didn’t want to miss today,” Jobs said, according to PC Magazine. Jobs said the iPad 2 would begin shipping in the US on March 11 and in other parts of the world on March 25; stateside, 3G service will be available through Verizon and AT&T.
And hey! We almost forgot. Unlike the Apple iPhone 4, the iPad 2 will ship in white or black versions – right out of the gate.
Update : The iPad 2 Launched 2 March 2011
Feb 28th
UPDATE: The iPad 2 launch has been confirmed by Apple as 2 March 2011.
And you can check out what we’re expecting from the iPad 2 launch, too.
And with just days to go now before its unveiling the iPad 2 release date, specs and price are still closely guarded secrets, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some juicy rumours, inspired guesses and possibly even Apple leaks to consider.
Reports suggest Apple is also expecting massive demand for the new device and has ordered six million units per month.
Here’s our pick of the latest iPad 2011 rumours.
UPDATE: A white iPad 2? This rumour, which surfaced on 28 February, came with a photo of a supposed white iPad 2 case.
UPDATE: On 24 February 2011, a Japanese blog posted pictures of what it says are accurate mock-ups of the new Apple iPad. It’s slimmer than the first generation iPad and features a front-mounted camera.
UPDATE: iPad 2 has apparently been spotted. Reuters reports on a “source with knowledge of the device” who spotted the new iPad at the launch of News Corp’s The Daily.
UPDATE: On 8 February 2011 the Wall Street Journal claimed that the new iPad has gone into full production. More >
Official Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
Feb 28th
Okay, now it’s really official; the earlier named Galaxy Tab 2 has been finally released. While the specs seemingly have stayed the same as we announced yesterday (or so it seems according to Engadget, Mashable,SamsungHub& Cnet), what we do know for sure is that this tablet from Samsung is officially dubbed ‘the Galaxy Tab 10.1′ instead of Galaxy Tab 2 (or II). The screen size seems to be the worthy ‘baptizer’ here.
Under the hood we’ve got a dual-core Tegra 2 processor, 16GB or 32GB of storage, a front-facing 2 megapixel camera and a 8 megapixel camera at the back, but this is nothing new so far. As more information becomes available, we’ll keep you updated. Check out the gallery (from Engadget) below to see the new Tab 10.1 up close. Thanks to Engadget.
